Day #3 A.S.

Good Morning, well at least it is for us, (not so much for Doug).  Was quite nauseous through the night, trying to drink juice and Sprite did not go too well, so he is back on ice and small sips of water. Having a few challenges, getting the whole digestive system to wake up is taking time and creating some discomfort.  The (leaking bag) scenario continues...  One of the Urology docs promised to get the ostomy nurse into evaluate this situation and hopefully come up with a better solution.

He is not up to any visitors today, I will be sure and post as soon as that changes in case you were wanting to see him.  He is getting up and walking where and when he needs to however so that is going well.  Dr. H ordered a sonogram of his legs to check for any blood clots and all was clear!  He's just trying to rest and get all his tummy business in better working condition.  Today is a day of sleeping and only dealing with what is medically necessary.  Please continue to pray for his recovery, and for this hospital...  I can't say enough good things about Dr. H and the surgery and recovery teams, but the day to day floor care is another issue, sometimes awesome, sometimes scary and dreadful.  The whole concept of a "teaching hospital" sounds wonderful until its your precious somebody they are learning on... (my note, not Doug's - he's a nicer person than me and would never say anything like that:, wink/smile :)
